This procurement process is currently at the award stage, concluding with the selection of suppliers, which occurred on 20th February 2017. The initial tender was published on 10th January 2017, with a submission deadline set for 31st January 2017. The contract period is scheduled to start on 1st March 2017 and end on 31st March 2017, with a total project budget of £80,000 and a minimum value of £50,000. This refurbishment project represents a lucrative opportunity for SMEs specialising in playground design and construction, particularly those experienced in creating engaging and safe play environments. Companies that can deliver innovative equipment and adhere to community feedback, focusing on amenities like swings, climbing structures, and inclusive play options, would find this tender particularly aligned with their services. Engaging with this tender can help businesses expand their portfolio and visibility within the public sector while contributing positively to local community infrastructure. ## Notice In May 2014 it was noted that the majority of play equipment at Mentmore Park was worn but serviceable during our annual RoSPA inspection. It is also considered that the play area has aged and offers little playability and is considered that the 10 principles for designing successful play spaces have been lost. A successful play space is a place in its own right, specially designed for its location and in such a way as to provide as much play value as possible. The public consultation successfully ran for two weeks from 27th April - 8th May 2015 and incorporated a number of questions which were promoted on our social media channels. FEEDBACK FINDINGS A total of 37 questionnaires were completed. The public were asked to express their preference over which type of play equipment they wished to see by selecting from the following groups: Swings, Rocking equipment or 'Springies', Maze, Equipment for inclusive play, Zip wire, Slides, Climbing, Rotating equipment, Role play, Balancing Equipment, Mounding, Tunnels and Playground markings. Feedback received, demonstrates that the preferred types of equipment in order of preference are: Swings, Climbing, Tunnels, Zip Wire and Rotating Equipment. Therefore we require a play area to be designed and built to incorporate the above equipment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfe226c4-7b09-47fe-aa3e-14271881e320 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Feb 2017 | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £79,923 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEIGHTON LINSLADE TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | LEIGHTON BUZZARD | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU7 1HD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Leighton-Linslade North | | Westminster constituency | Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SUTCLIFFE PLAY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45453100 - Refurbishment work ## Release History - 29 Jan 2018 at 14:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfe226c4-7b09-47fe-aa3e-14271881e320 - 10 Jan 2017 at 13:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8cfc4ad-f2a3-4803-bb71-acb1b3f5b646 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfe226c4-7b09-47fe-aa3e-14271881e320 29th January 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8cfc4ad-f2a3-4803-bb71-acb1b3f5b646 10th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8871c712-a052-427b-a9fb-eefc75be622b Standardised Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5a8fd7b5-1602-4395-8493-5ee4aa299cef Expression of Interest - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/21599671-1421-4bb8-b648-ea3690b75a34 Tender Doc - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7e025b6e-052c-48b9-ab1e-ed6960c42b5c Location Map ## Notice URLs - http://www.leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
